Removing Controller/Transmitter from

Sensor

WARNING

To avoid injury in the following steps,

turn off the supply pressure and

carefully release any pressure trapped

in the controller/transmitter before

breaking any pressure connection.

Provide a bypass for the control

device if continuous operation is

required during maintenance.

1.  Disconnect the supply and output pressure tubing

from the controller or transmitter. For a

controller/transmitter with an indicator, remove the

pointer assembly by referring to the Replacing the

Bourdon Tube section.

2.  Loosen the top hex clamp nut (key 40, figure 16)

and remove the flapper base (key 30, figure 16) from

the torque tube rotary shaft.

CAUTION

If the hex clamp nut has not been

loosened or the pointer removed

according to step 2, attempting to

remove the controller/transmitter from

the sensor may bend the flapper or

rotary shaft. Be careful that the back of

the controller/transmitter case or the

heat insulator does not drop down and

bend the rotary shaft or shaft

extension.

3.  Remove any insulating tape from the joint

between the controller/transmitter case and the

torque tube arm. Remove the four cap screws (key

39, figure 14) that hold the controller/transmitter or

heat insulator to the torque tube arm. Pull the case

straight out from the torque tube arm, easing it over

the shaft coupling (key 36, figure 14) if one is

installed.

4.  If the controller/transmitter has a heat insulator,

remove the four button head cap screws and

washers (keys 40 and 53, figure 14) and remove the

insulator assembly.

Changing Mounting Methods

WARNING

To avoid personal injury from contact

with the process fluid, lower the vessel

fluid level below the torque-tube arm

before proceeding. For closed vessels,

release any pressure that may be

above the fluid. Also, be careful to

avoid overloading a thin-wall torque

tube with an overweight displacer.

Refer to figure 16 for key number locations.
1.  Remove the controller/transmitter as described

previously.
2.  A controller/transmitter is attached to the sensor

in one of the mounting positions shown in figure 4.

Right-hand mounting is with the controller/transmitter

case (key 1) to the right of the displacer (FLOAT), as

you look at the front of the case, left-hand mounting

is with with the case to the left of the displacer. For a
